I can't hardly wait to see how much #SpellingBee irritates people today. @spellingbee-play.bsky.social @rejectednytwords.bsky.social

Alas, @eddiemuller.bsky.social, Victoria & I won't be able to see Out of the Past tonight. I'm hoping #NoirCityNYC is going great. People of #FilmNoir, make sure you go! See you all on the dark side! #filmnoirfoundation 🎬📽️🎥

People of movies - go to Letterboxd now and read this review. If any one review encapsulates this classic relic from the 70s, MikeZilla’s does it! 🎥🎬📽️

Just say "World Cup." No one needs to say "FIFA World Cup." That's like "Jeff Lynne's ELO" or "Lee Daniels' 'The Butler.'" Just say ELO. Just say "The Butler." The extra info is just that.

This day cannot come soon enough

@rejectednytwords.bsky.social TIDDLY

@marcusluther.bsky.social @thevogelman.bsky.social Gentlemen - I believe that was a fantastic first day. #BleakHouse

@carlrosin.bsky.social Hey man, get in on the Bleak House conversation. It's fun! @marcusluther.bsky.social & @thevogelman.bsky.social have started something really cool.

RIP.

Uh…this is astonishing

We need to have a talk: The Democratic Party has a New York delegation problem.

@replsimon.bsky.social Ms. Ifill makes a solid point

Nobody is talking about how the other day Trump tried being Frankie Pentangeli’s brother from Godfather 2 - his message to the Justices tried to be “You don’t go against the family.” It’s just like this reopening Alcatraz nonsense. And bombing Iran. He watches movies but doesn’t understand them.

@rejectednytwords.bsky.social Apparently I don’t know what the hell I’m talking about when I teach poetic rhythm and meter. FFS

You know it’s a great day when the Czar @eddiemuller.bsky.social comes by to talk with students about noir & film & being able to do what you love in life. And to end with a story about Ann Savage, too - icing on the cake! I really do love teaching. Thanks, Eddie!

My daughter gave me #CriterionCollection Spine #226 (Onibaba) for my birthday today and I feel so seen!

Same reserved seat I had last month for #NoirCity23. Tonight we get to see Sinners in 70mm at the #GrandLake … and a special guest or two will be speaking at the end of the showing…

Oh my god. This exists in the world. Having now heard it I’m a better person! Because let’s face it: this is one of the greatest songs in the history of ever.

“I’m a moderate billionaire. I know everything!” We need less of guys like these.

@rejectednytwords.bsky.social #nytspellingbee Are you kidding me???

Why can’t we have nice things?

When he ran for President in 1984, the Rev. Jesse Jackson spoke at San Francisco State. I went with a very Reagan-friendly friend. At one point in his speech, the Rev’s passion got everyone on their feet cheering - including my friend. Afterwards, my friend was pumped. A magical moment. RIP

This is, essential me, trying to get a sophomore to stop speaking when I am trying to give instructions in class.

The Film class is gonna be watching this tomorrow.

If Garo Yepremian doesn't make that goof, Miami goes 17-0 with a shutout in Super Bowl VII. Has he suited up for the Seahawks tonight? The Pats sure hope so...

My dad took me to Super Bowl VII at the LA Coliseum in 1973. I believe the halftime entertainment was Up with People.

Reminder: Vance killed Pope Francis. Bad things happen when he’s in Italy.

Lola Heatherton was the absolute best. #RIPCatherineOHara

I preferred TDKs and Maxells, TBH. Realistic Chrome was also a great option from Radio Shack.

@markcousinsfilm.bsky.social thank you so much for the follow back. I’m really excited about this new series. I’ve shown several excerpts of The Story of Film to my high school film studies class and find your work invaluable.

What a badass. An exceptional human being.

Got myself a little #physicalmedia this fine day 🎥📽️🎬

Had one of the highlights of my career today: Saturday field trip to #noircity23! A heartfelt and special thanks to @eddiemuller.bsky.social & all at @noirfoundation.bsky.social for welcoming my students and showing them that black & white and Bogie & Bacall will always be cool!

Took my Film Studies students on a field trip today to the Pacific Film Archive in Berkeley to see In the Mood for Love…and it was a good day. 🎥📽️🎬

I timed it - Ann Savage is in Detour for only 30 minutes. She does not waste a single frame that she’s in. It don’t get any better than that. 🎥📽️🎬 #filmnoir

www.independent.co.uk/arts-enterta... RIP to a great one. I always knew with Elle I was going to be treated to a great recipe on ATK. I’m really going to miss what she bright to the show.

I detect a theme.

boxd.it/cn8ou9 The @flicker-alley.bsky.social bluray restorations of the @laurelandhardy.bsky.social pre-1930s silent movies have been amazing. This restoration of their first soundie is just a fantastic. Long live #physicalmedia! 🎬🎥📽️

Highlights: I completed the reading of Remembrance of Things Past and all of Shakespeare’s plays.

Saying goodbye to 2025 like
